Author: Hurst, Michel
With an introduction by Nan Goldin, this volume is the debut book of photographs by the late photographer and collector Michel Hurst (1948–2023). Made in and around his adopted home of Mexico City over six years, Órale’s photographs pulse with the lifeblood of a country marred by suffering but consistently renewed by the promise of redemption. Through Hurst's lens, the reader absorbs ancient rituals and new cults, beauty and degradation, danger and tenderness, lust and longing. With the flinty eye of a hard-bitten street photographer and the soft touch of an aesthete, Hurst shows us not just Mexico but the human condition itself. This monograph also includes an essay by 'New Yorker' photography critic Chris Wiley and an afterword by Hurst’s husband of 40 years, Robert Swope.
ISBN 9798218799922. Hunters Point Press. hb. 100 pages. 54 colour ills. 29.2 x 21.6 cm.
